Yeah, it’s the first public release of the new syntax highlighter announced in my previous post !

Ajax Syntax Highlighter is a small Javascript utility designed to highlight code embed in a web page in a semantic and standard compliant way.
It automatically looks for source code in the page, send it to a server-side highlighter and display the highlighted code. It also has a “view as plain text” feature and internationalization (French translation available).

Ajax Syntax Highlighter is built with Yahoo! UI and uses JSON for serialization.
It currently includes GeSHi as server-side (PHP required) highlighter but it can be easily used with others such as Pygments.
